Two Piano Tornado and the Spectacles combine forces for an enthusiastic romp around the back alleys and dives of Christmas town with their new recording “Ring Them Bells”.

  1.  Arriving in Christmas Town by the only method available the band arrives on a Sleigh Ride filled with twists and turns nobody expected.   You may as well jump on the for the ride – it’s bound to be a blast.
  2. From Winnipeg to Whitehorse and all around this Country people with huge hearts and elbow-grease give time and money to help other people in need.  Christmas Town is no different and Annie takes us to just such a place with her beautiful rendition of “I Don’t Want Nothin’ For Christmas”, written by New Orleans virtuoso Tom McDermott.  
  3. Whoops!  Snow is falling and although it starts off gentle things soon start to turn and before the end there is one heck of a piano, banjo, guitar and bass tornado.  Let It Snow!
  4. Oh oh!  There’s one in every crowd and Jaxon gives him a piece of his mind with You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch. 
  5. As we stroll by Santa’s workshop where you normally hear the tapping of hammers and the cutting of wood, it seems the Elves have been into the eggnog a little too much and one of them has turned their saw into a show of its own.  Musical sawist Jaxon Haldane delivers up a medley of “I Saw Three Ships and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.  (…what else?)
  6. Here it comes!  Good time train is leaving!  Ring Them Bells:  YaHooooooo!
  7. The mournful song of New Years Eve is in the air in a sultry duet with Shauna Jones and Jaxon Haldane.  What Are You Doing New Years Eve?
  8. Winding down our romp through Christmas Town we say goodbye to Toyland.   We hope you’ve enjoyed the tour.
